Whether your life is champagne tastes with a beer budget reality, or always-in-the-black real deal, who doesn't love a little a luxury? I certainly do and natch Lord Basileus, who if truth be told, has a fancier collection of things than me. Recently a host of covetable morsels have been popping up in my feeds and inbox, luring me with their luxe ways, so in our latest radar, we're not settling for anything less than fabulous. Care to join us?

With the blossoms starting to open and the sun’s cheeky appearance, Basil and I are having lots of happy feels, and as spotted in Grazia a few issues back, the Dopamine trend is totally capturing our vibe. Should you be scratching your head over WTF dopamine means, the urban dictionary defines it as 'the kick ass chemical in your brain that makes you feel and do happy things’. So get down with the dopamine trend with our favourite hound and human buys.

Last month was crazy busy, so I’ve skipped September and fast-forwarded straight to October. Basil and I have got some exciting posts coming up but this one is dedicated to what’s buzzing around our heads that we think you HAVE TO know about.

Sun’s out, fun’s out and we’re sizzling for all kinds of doggy what’s hot-ness. From palm prints for pups to a canine-catered art exhibition, read on for the buys and doggy do’s on our radar this August, and in our carefree, relaxed summer vibe, we've even let the pussycats claw their way in too.

It's no secret - we freakin’ love Winston of @WinnyTheCorgi Instagram fame. His smiley cuteness paired with his clever use of prop-age and puns are a source of joy in our day. Working with his human Rachel for Basil’s recent all-star photo-shoots means that we get to hang out with him fairly often too and we can confirm in addition to his good looks, he’s one swell guy.
